florida cup & sunshine cup

The Florida Cup and Sunshine Cup are two-day annual tournaments played over the course of a weekend. Teams from the four GLTA-affiliated organizations in the state of Florida--Advantage Tampa Bay, Miami Mavericks, Orange Blossom Tennis Association (Orlando), and South Florida Tennis Club (Ft Lauderdale)--compete against each other. Tournament hosting duty is rotated among the four leagues.

Florida Cup

Florida Cup teams are comprised of Open and A players, with B players filling in when necessary.

The 2015 Florida Cup will be played in Ft Lauderdale on November 14th and 15th.

Sunshine Cup

Sunshine Cup teams are comprised of B, C, and D players.

Advantage Tampa Bay hosted the 2015 Sunshine Cup and finished second to Ft Lauderdale. Next year's tournament will be hosted by Miami in Spring 2016.

The boys from Ft Lauderdale continued their Sunshine Cup dominance as they ran away yet again with first-place honors this past weekend at HCC. After the first day of singles competition, SFTC led their ATB and Orlando rivals 20-15-7 respectively, and sealed the championship by defeating second-place ATB in the doubles round on day 2. Orlando won the doubles competition but were unable to make up for day 1 defeats to their rivals. The final scores: SFTC 29, ATB 18, Orlando 16. Next year's competition will be hosted by Miami, which was absent this weekend having been unable to form a team for this year's Cup.
